A new study shows that the drug Viagra is still safe to use in women, especially in the form of tablets, tablets that are not intended for use by men.
According to the research, women who took the drug daily for a year and a half had a higher risk of developing blood clots and stroke. It may also increase the risk of developing blood clots in older women.
Viagra, which is only licensed to men and is marketed as a cheaper alternative to prescription Viagra, has also been known to cause side effects in some women. Viagra is not recommended for women with certain medical conditions, but a recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine suggested that Viagra could cause the following in women:
The study is published in the New England Journal of Medicine. A total of 831 patients taking sildenafil and 705 men taking placebo were evaluated in the study. All were given a prescription for Viagra (sildenafil) for 2 to 3 weeks to allow their bodies to adjust to the medication.
In the study, the researchers found that in those taking sildenafil for up to 2 weeks, the risk of blood clots was higher in women, but was not statistically different from women who did not take the drug. This was the same study that was published in the New England Journal of Medicine in November 2017.
The researchers concluded that while Viagra is safe to use during sexual intercourse, women taking sildenafil for more than 2 weeks are at an increased risk of developing blood clots and stroke.
"Viagra has been available for more than 30 years, and it's safe to use in women," said Dr. Thomas Farrar, the lead author of the study, and a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Boston Children's Hospital.
In the study, the researchers analyzed data from the National Death Index, a widely used to monitor the rate of death in America. The index uses the rate of dying in every year since the death of a person in the previous year.
The index is calculated by dividing the total number of deaths in the year between 2006 and 2018. It gives the percentage of people who died due to cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other serious illnesses, according to the NIH.
The researchers also found that among women taking sildenafil for 2 weeks, the risk of stroke was lower among women who were already taking it and those who had had surgery. The researchers also found that those taking sildenafil for more than 2 weeks were at an increased risk of developing blood clots and stroke.
However, the researchers didn't find any significant differences in the incidence or risk of blood clots among the women who took the drug, and no statistically significant differences in the risk of blood clots among those who took the drug with or without surgery.
Viagra and other drugs that treat erectile dysfunction (ED) are not the same as taking any other form of "comp" or "pills." It's the same for prescription drugs like Cialis (tadalafil), Stendra (riociguat), Levitra (vardenafil), and Stendra (diltiazem).
However, some doctors aren't very comfortable prescribing ED medications for their patients, particularly since they may not know the difference between the two drugs.
The New England Journal of Medicine also found that Viagra has been known to cause side effects in some women. Some women who used sildenafil for at least 3 months and did not have a side effect were given nitrates (such as nitroglycerin) to treat chest pain. Viagra was also known to cause blood pressure to drop suddenly, and it's not recommended for women with high blood pressure.
It's also not clear how much Viagra actually causes blood clots in women. It's thought that it could have been caused by some other drug, and possibly by sildenafil.
However, the researchers didn't find any significant differences in the risk of blood clots among the women who used sildenafil for more than 2 weeks. Viagra is not recommended for women with certain medical conditions, and the drug could cause the following in women:

On 14 March 2023, the UK Medicines regulator approved an application to reclassify the erectile dysfunction medication Cialis. When marketed asCialis Together(tadalafil 10mg), it will be a ‘P’ (pharmacy) medication, and so available ‘over the counter’ in pharmacies – see. This follows the 2018, ‘P’ classification of (sildenafil 50mg) which has been available OTC, without a prescription, since then.
This decision is good news for men’s health …. Erectile dysfunction can be a debilitating condition, so it’s important men feel they have fast access to quality and legitimate care
Dr Laura Squire, MHRA’s Chief Officer for Healthcare, Quality and Access
Unfortunately, there is a strong black market in the UK for ED medicines, which are often unlicensed or counterfeit. UK Border Force and the MHRA seize millions of pounds of these fake products from criminals annually. This new classification of tadalafil 10mg will enable men who suffer from ED to obtain it safely from a local pharmacy.
Sanofi, the drug manufacturer, is expected to launch Cialis Together later in 2023. Cialis Together will be available to purchase in pharmacies without a prescription by men over 18 with erectile dysfunction. Cialis Together tablets will contain 10mg tadalafil and the maximum pack size will be 8 tablets. Other doses and pack sizes of Cialis and tadalafil will still be available on prescription through doctors and specially trained pharmacists. Before purchase in a pharmacy there must be an assessment with a pharmacist, who will check that Cialis Together is appropriate and safe, or whether consultation with a GP is necessary.
Men suffering with ED will have another treatment option with the convenience of purchasing it in their local pharmacy, including pharmacies found inside supermarkets (eg. Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s). The pharmacist will ask some health questions, may check blood pressure, and will advise on treatment with Cialis Together or Viagra Connect, or the need to consult a GP. Pharmacies usually have a private room for such discussions.
Cialis Together is a 10mg tadalafil product for use at least 30 minutes prior to anticipated sexual activity. Its effects can last. It is not recommended for daily use. The maximum recommended dose of Cialis Together will be one tablet in 24 hours. Prescription Cialis and tadalafil will still be available at different doses.
Dr Fox welcomes the wider access to ED medication for men that Cialis Together classified as a ‘P’ OTC medication will provide. We at Dr Fox are aware of the difficulties men have in discussing ED with their GPs and in accessing ED medication. We know that Cialis is effective and safe for most men and this change provides another option for obtaining ED treatment. Pharmacists are health professionals who are able to give ED advice but they will also know when to refer men who would benefit from a doctor’s assessment. ‘P’ medicines can also be supplied on prescription, and we will offer Cialis Together, when available, alongside our other competitively priced ED products.
